Bryan Cogman

Given that this is the start of a new week, it’s probably safe to assume that this is just one of the new live-action Disney remakes we’ll be hearing about before the end of the week. They’ve got commitment, that’s for sure. Like several of the studio’s other planned remakes, this one sounds like it has some serious potential: Disney has partnered with Game of Thrones writer Bryan Cogman to develop a live-action version of The Sword in the Stone.

Well, if they're going to make a movie out of the role playing game 'Magic: The Gathering,' the best possible hope is that they hire the right people for the material. And it looks like they have: 'Game of Thrones' producer, story editor and writer Bryan Cogman has been hired to write the first film in what Fox hopes is the next hot fantasy franchise.
